"Abnormal spatial energy reaction detected!"
"Conducting ripple planar mapping. Identified as a Bone Midge. No biological signal connection detected. Unknown which Saint Luo Envoy it belongs to."
"If it's a Saint Luo Envoy... then it can only be Lord August. Over the past three months, only the Ninth Saint Luo Envoy has appeared in the Cameron Star System."
At the edge defense line of the Cameron Star System, on a yellowish-brown planet as seen from space, large numbers of Saint Luo Race soldiers were gathered in an underground base. Several figures dressed in commander uniforms looked up at a massive light screen.

Six Red Class heavy battleships, twelve Desolate Class heavy cruisers, and more than forty missile destroyers, frigates, and reconnaissance ships formed a small fleet.
For one of the border outposts in such a vast star system, this was already a fleet of considerable scale.
In the silent expanse of space, ripples suddenly spread outward.

The order was transmitted across the entire fleet in an instant.
The crimson-painted 10th Border Defense Fleet unfolded into a neat double-column formation.
Floating asteroids and fragments in space suddenly spread outward layer by layer. The originally empty central region now resembled boiling ink, turning pitch-black.
